Embodiments provide the preparation method of two kinds of boron-doping zinc-oxide films, wherein a kind of preparation method of boron-doping zinc-oxide film, comprise the following steps:
S01: be dissolved in completely in organic solvent in zinc source, forms the first solution;
S02: add stablizer in described first solution, form the second solution;
S03: by described second solution warms to 25-80 DEG C;
S04: add boron source in described second solution after intensification, wherein, the number ratio (or mol ratio) of boron atom and zinc atom is 0.2 ~ 1.0:100;
S05: all raw material stirring in the solution of step S04 process are even, obtains gel after ripening;
S06: film and drying treatment are carried out to described gel, obtains precursor thin-film;
S07: heat-treat described precursor thin-film, then cool, obtains boron-doping zinc-oxide film.
Particularly, in above-mentioned steps S01, one in described organic solvent preferred alcohol, methyl alcohol, Virahol and ethylene glycol monomethyl ether, these organic solvents can realize good effect, and molecular weight is all smaller, be easy to follow-up disaggregating treatment, be beneficial to and finally obtain the boron-doping zinc-oxide film that composition is only boron oxide and zinc oxide.Described zinc source can be Zinc diacetate dihydrate, Glacial acetic acid zinc, zinc acetylacetonate etc., preferred Zinc diacetate dihydrate and Glacial acetic acid zinc, because both molecular weight, is easy to decompose.In addition, Glacial acetic acid zinc because containing crystal water, moisture can not be introduced in subsequent thin film preparation and be beneficial to the selection that the reasons such as film drying can become better.
In above-mentioned steps S02, the object adding stablizer is: one, complete solving zinc source under the help of organic solvent; Two, stablizer, there is complex reaction between zinc source and organic solvent, the complex compound of formation can be combined with boron source better.Described stablizer is preferably monoethanolamine, because its molecular weight is smaller, be easy to follow-up disaggregating treatment, be beneficial to and finally obtain the boron-doping zinc-oxide film that composition is only boron oxide and zinc oxide, certainly, if do not pursue the effect same played as this monoethanolamine, stablizer of the present invention can also select other known stablizer of this area.For the addition of stablizer, determine according to molar weight needed for the complex reaction in zinc source, unsuitable too much or not enough.If because add excessive, then the stablizer of follow-up remnants is too much, can strengthen subsequent decomposition reaction; If add deficiency, can cause reaction not exclusively, affect the rate of utilization in zinc source, also increase decomposition difficulty simultaneously.Therefore, when stablizer is monoethanolamine, zinc source is Zinc diacetate dihydrate, monoethanolamine is preferably 1:1 with the molar weight ratio of Zinc diacetate dihydrate.
